GoG Weekly - Blood Bowl League has started!

---

Stuff to know:

1.) Co-admins: Rodzaju & Piranjade

2.) We will have fixed match day interval of one week >>> most likely some people are going to miss matches for RL reasons - but I believe this to be the lesser evil and it will keep things rolling on.

3.) The matchday change is tuesday 23:59 GMT +2

4. ) Act promptly - Contact your opponent as soon as the matchday changes and settle the match day OR inform him/her if you know before hand that you wont be able to play that match.

5.) Be tactful - You will be fouled, your favorite player is going to die, youre going to roll three red block skulls three times in row and the thrower wont be able to pass the ball one square - accept this before starting to play.

6.) Fairplay ...in Blood Bowl sense that is... No greaving of dead players and retired teams, its part of the sport :)

7.) Although its not necessary to join GoG Blood Bowl group in steam, it is recommended.

8.) xxxx

9.) Profit => Have fun playing the game!

!! UPDATE !!

League name: 'Gog Weekly'
Owner: 'iipp0'
password: 'havefun'

Mode: Championship
Nro teams: As many as we get = 14 (holy sardines!)
Divisions: 1
Single round-robin -> everyone plays ONCE against each other.

Scoring system:

Win = 3 points
Draw = 1 point to both
Lose = 0

----------------------

Disconnections & no-show

1. In case one of the players gets disconnected and the game cannot be continued:
Rematch is encouraged. Having decided on rematch time, the players inform league admins to reset the match score. If a rematch cannot be arranged in time, the autowin result will stand.

2. Opponent doesnt show up on agreed time:
If the match cannot be scheduled on another time, the admins will set the score manually 1-0 for the player that showed up originally. Unfortunately this counts mvp and tournament money as autowin. Thank you Cyanide.

3.Opponent cannot be contacted to arrange the match in the first place:
0-2 admin adjusted win for the one player who cannot contact his opponent in time and lets the admins know about this in advance. Posting on the forum if you cannot contact your opponent in about 4 days time is encouraged. Missing multiple matches without giving the admins valid reason may lead to kicking off the tournament -> admin discreation.

4. Both players "disappear":
0-0 admin adjusted draw.

*Autowin = Winner gets the losing teams mvp + prize money, loser gets nothing. This is set by Cyanide and unfortunately cannot be edited at all.

I'm in!
This time with an Underworld team!

Would it be possible to use an interval of two weeks? Or would that be too long? I'm just asking because with a one week interval I think it could be very easy to miss two matches in a row. (Which would be sad.)

Well, if ill set it the way majority wants - but the league calender does show all of your upcoming opponents, so its not impossible to book as many matches as you want. Depending on the opponent ofcourse :)

Anyhow, if I set it for 2 weeks and you happen to miss that one for one reason or another (get sick in the last minute etc), then your going to miss four weeks without playing...

What I am hoping is that one week would put a bit pressure on people to actually put some day on their matches as soon as possible - instead of first waiting for one week "because there's no rush" and then panicking couple days before deadline...

Anyway, I would be too concerned if you miss a game or two every now and then, as one week cycle would allow twice as many of them as a 2-week cycle.

Nothings set on stone yet, so please, everybody - do speak up your minds.

Chalk me up

Count me in.

Selling my soul for blood bowl glory.....

League has been created, feel free to apply!

League name: 'Gog Weekly'
Owner: 'iipp0'
password: 'havefun'

Mode: Championship
Nro teams: As many as we get
Divisions: 1
Double round-robin -> everyone plays twice against each other.

In, do we use this topic from now on or the old one?

I believe it would be more clear, if we hop on to new topic. We are "clearing the slate" again so to speak. I put link to this one at the bottom of both older threads, so if anyone finds them instead, they should find this one as well.

The first team, that is my own 'The Ale House Elves' are now in the league. As everyone naturally guessed, this is Norse team. Yarr!

I'm in. Thanks for the info.

I think one round per week is just right. With two weeks it will take ages to finish season. (eight players, thats 8 matches * 14 days..).

I am not certain how many teams we are going to get this time.. We'll wait a bit see how many turn up. But please DO spread the word if you happen to know good victims...

Anyways, I am hoping people will not stress much about winning or losing - but rather just start playing the damn games and have fun. I chose the glass-jaw Norse this time around, so I might selfdestruct in any given game. But then again - so what, you'll get free replacement players anyway. Also in the end Nuffle's dice are unknown to everyone ;)

Wouldn't mind being in, need to reinstall Bloodbowl. Got Legendary edition.
Will probably roll up an Orc team. Yeah why not.

I applied as the Blackrock Berserkers, a Chaos Dwarf team.

Couldn't think of clever player names yet though :(
